Once you have booked each component of your holiday with us, such as flights, car rentals, e-tickets, insurance, and hotel vouchers, we will provide you with all the necessary documentation for each item. For hotel and package bookings, we will send your documents in a timely manner, ensuring that you receive them at least 7 days before your scheduled departure. Please be aware that certain documents may be sent separately. If you have not received all your documents at least 7 days before your departure, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@holidaybay.co.uk for assistance.
Please note that a valid passport is required for travel and failure to present one at boarding will result in denied travel. Additionally, certain countries may require that your passport be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date, and we recommend that you consult the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website for country-specific advice. For non-UK passport holders, you will need to contact the embassy or consulate of the country you are visiting, and the FCO website provides helpful contact information. Please be aware that your documents will be checked at the UK departure point, and if deemed inadequate, you will be unable to travel. If you require a new passport, please ensure that you allow enough time for processing before your departure, although expedited passport delivery is available for an additional fee. Please visit Apply for a UK Passport for more information
It is the responsibility of each customer to ensure they have obtained all necessary visas required for their holiday. If you are unsure whether a visa is required for your trip, we recommend that you visit the website of the embassy of the country you will be visiting. There you can find information on visa requirements and how to apply. Please note that failure to obtain the necessary visas may result in your travel plans being disrupted, and we cannot be held responsible for any such disruptions
Each country has its own set of visa requirements, so it’s important to check the relevant embassy website or the government website for the country you’re visiting to find out whether you need a visa or any other travel documentation. It is important that you ensure you have all the required documents for entry, as well as for your travel to and from your destination. We advise you to check these requirements well in advance of your travel dates to avoid any issues at the airport or border control. You can find more information on passport/visa requirements and general travel advice by visiting https://www.gov.uk/browse/abroad.
If you have a health condition that requires prescribed medication and you plan to travel, it is important to consult with your GP or Practice Nurse beforehand to ensure that you make any necessary special arrangements. It is advisable to carry your medication in a container that has been correctly labelled by your pharmacist and to keep it in your hand luggage if airline regulations permit. Additionally, it may be helpful to have a spare supply of medication packed in your suitcase or hold luggage in case your hand luggage is lost. It is also recommended to travel with a copy of your prescription and any relevant documentation, such as a letter from your GP that includes details of your medication and the health condition it is required for. Some airlines may require this documentation, so it is best to check their specific requirements beforehand
